About this event
Art historian Alba Vendrell i Torres takes a walk through the Barri Gòtic to separate what is genuinely Gothic from what was invented in the early twentieth century, when the city reconstructed a supposed medieval golden age with one eye on tourism. It is a route about how the Barcelona brand was built, led by someone who knows which stones are real. In Catalan, run with Tot Història Associació Cultural.
